Certification Regarding Eligibility
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness
Act of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eli-gibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on May 14, 2001, filed by UAW Local 771 on behalf of
workers at Amtec Precision Products, Inc., St. Clair Shores,
Michigan. The workers produced machined metal components.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production, and levels of
employment. The subject facility is now closed.
The investigation also showed that a major declining
customer of the subject firm increased its import purchases of
machined metal components during the relevant time period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with those produced by Amtec Precision
Products, Inc., St. Clair Shores, Michigan, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales and production and to the
total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers at Amtec Precision Products, Inc., St.
Clair Shores, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April
23, 2000, through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 5th day of March 2002.
